Wedding in Philly

 I recently had the opportunity to go to Philadelphia to photograph a wedding. I was nervous about getting all my gear there or forgetting something but everything worked out great. The couple doesn't want to be on social media so out of respect for them I won't be posting pictures of them but I did want to post a couple shots with them not visible. 

Larson Reception

Here is the reception pictures from Jake and Laura's wedding as promised.

I loved everything about this reception. So pretty and also describing them so well.

 These mozzarella balls... so delicious....

 I loved the place it was at so beautiful. The lights totally added to the ambiance.

 I Loved her cake! I have never seen anything like it and I will admit I went a little overboard and took too many pictures of it. But oh well...

 They also had these cute signs throughout the reception with things about Jake and Laura what a fun idea!

Daddy daughter dance was super cute!

Overall the night was super fun and everything looked fantastic. All of the time and effort put into the reception was well worth it. Props to you Laura. If Nic and I get married again I put you in charge of the decorations. ;)

Larson Wedding Part 1

I can now say I have a wedding under my belt. I have done reception but had never actually done at the temple family pictures.What a good experience for me, I still have a LOT to learn but hope I have a chance like this again. Thanks Jake and Laura for trusting me with this. I would like to say I have all of the pictures done being edited but it's amazing how long it takes to do anything when you have a baby that refuses to sleep. I know ridiculous right... but that's another story. Here are the pictures taken at the temple reception pictures will come later.

Before I continue I really do need to give credit to my two assistants. I really could not do any of this without their assistance. Here  they are with the groom. :)

 Seriously Emily was a champ! She even slept through the night for the first time that night... well until her mean parents woke her up at 5 am to go to the airport no wonder she won't sleep. Nic has always been super helpful and supportive of my photography and boy he did not disappoint. He helped me make sure I got all the pictures I wanted would go scoop out areas for lighting while I took care of Emily. He was AWESOME! Thanks Honey! Thanks also to everyone who helped out with Emily. We thought it was going to be quite interesting with me taking pictures and Nic being a groomsmen but everyone was so helpful with her.

Jake goes way back with Nic and I. Jake was Nic's freshmen roommate at BYU. Since Nic and I were dating then I got to also meet Jakey then. We fortunately have been able to stay good friends despite Nic and I living in Wisconsin. Thanks Jake and Laura for letting us be part of your day. We are so happy you guys found each other and get to be together forever. So happy we got to see you so happy! You make a fantastic couple.

Now you are probably sick of me so I'll let you get to the pictures. Warning I have a lot of pictures of the bridal party. I am a little obsessed with her wedding colors I can't help it that Laura picked my favorite color in the whole world! Ps this bride is BEAUTIFUL. I am a little biased with the blue eyes and brown hair but seriously Jake you picked a gorgeous bride!

Nicole's wedding reception.

I love weddings. I feel like i have always been a little obsessed with the details of it. On weddings that I can't attend, mostly due to location, I anxiously await until they appear on Facebook so I can see all of the details. I can't wait to see the flower arrangements, the beading on the dress, the food, the favors, and the table decorations. My husband thinks I am a little crazy for getting so caught up in the details but I love it.

I just recently got back from Nicole's wedding in Colorado. All I can say is WOW. both her and her mom have worked really hard for months to get every single detail down perfect. Everything turned out perfectly. It was the ideal outdoor reception. I enjoyed capturing the details and hope you enjoy feeling like you are there.

Tis the spring season

Wow who knew Spring could be so busy. With graduation and wedding bells in the air I have been keeping busy.

Just finished designing one of my friend's wedding announcements.

Cameron & Jeni's Reception

I got to take pictures for my brother and his wife's reception and open house. Both were BEAUTIFUL! They are such a fun couple and I am glad I can be related!
